MEDICAL EXAMINERS MUST CONTINUE TO ISSUE MEDICAL CERTIFICATES TO ALL DRIVERS
The FMCSA has requested that all medical examiners continue providing drivers with a paper copy of the Medical Examiner’s Certificate – Form MCSA-5876, so that Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders can provide a copy to the State licensing agency, and the non-CDL drivers can provide the documentation to their employers and Federal and State enforcement officials.
The Agency is currently completing efforts to put into place an electronic system to enable medical examiners to transmit the medical certificate information from the National Registry system to the State licensing agencies.
Until that system is completed, which compliance date according FMCSA is June 23, 2025, medical examiners must continue to issue paper copies of the medical certificates to drivers who pass the medical exam.
ALL DRIVERS MUST CONTINUE TO CARRY A PAPER COPY OF THEIR MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
Commercial Drivers – You still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until FMCSA announces that this is no longer necessary.

I am interested in getting an intrastate CDL but I have a question on something. Can a person who has gone more than a decade without a seizure due to brain surgeries and device implants get a cdl? If one can get a regular license, could one get a CDL?
@ Mark
You will need to get clarification for this situation from your local drivers license department.
Do you need a dot Physical to operate on a CDL permit
@ Matthew
Most states require a medical card, but each state is different. Check with your local drivers license department for their process and requirements.
Do I need to keep a current med card if I’ve been off work unemployed for over a year but I want to keep my cdl?
@ David H
Most states require a valid medical card to maintain a valid CDL. Best to check with your local drivers license department for your best answer.
What if they don’t know either? My husband is now retired but wants to keep his cdl w/all endorsements. He asked our local DL office personnel, and they looked but have no clue.
@ Angela C
Since this is a state related situation, be patient and keep going up the command ladder until someone can answer your question.
I would like to know that also!
Is there a grace period for renewing your dot medical card after expiration date without losing cdl license in kansas?
@ Guillermo
Medical cards expire at midnight of the expiration date, no grace period. Your cdl is state issued and only requires a valid medical card to maintain it. Check with Kansas drivers license department for details regarding your cdl validity.

@ Ernest
Check with your states drivers license department for the best answer. Most states require a valid medical card to maintain a valid cdl, but your situation requires an answer from your state DLD.
